Re: What Happens When....... Brake Controller Question
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Kanman</div><div class="ubbcode-body">So what happens if you run a brake controller rated for only 2 axles on a 3 axle trailer?
I have been running this way for a little while, and I just haven't gotten around to installing a new controller.
What I have noticed is it never seems like the same axles lock up twice in a row. Its almost a crap shoot as to which lock. And, they do LOCK, geeze it is annoying to smoke the tires every time I touch the pedal.
Curious as to why this happens, I would have figured all three axles would have gotten some voltage, just not enough. But that isn't the case, the current seems to pick two axles.
Curious as to why this happens? </div></div>
From what I understand, a 2 axle unit is not equipped to supply the amperage require for 3 axles. I'm surprised that you can lock up a tire, but then again, that might be because the controller is damaged and can no longer proportion the power. I am assuming that you cannot adjust that out.
